Re: [WindsurfKY] (unknown)

I have quite a bit of junk.An old longboard mistrail,bic nova, 10 ft. bic, 9ft.
8in. mistrail,9ft.mistrail,and a 8ft.6in. seatrend.My sail collection goes from
9.0 to 3.0.I am ready for almost anything.I have a little trailer to carry all
this junk.I can jibe and jump, but I am no hot dog.Do some wavesailing.I go to
Sullivans Island,SC,Islandmorada,Fla,and up on Lake Erie in Canada near Buffalo
almost every year.Some years we get shut out because we plan these trips around
friends and relatives , not the weather.Quite a few times I have had some
stellar days.I have a 13yr,old son who also sails. He has not hooked in or
planed yet,but is getting close.The Nova is really his,but I am glad I got it
for him. It is a lot of fun on light wind and cold water flukey windy days.Hope
to get some good sailing days in this year.Thanks Bill

place but the 70 minute drive makes a pretty full day to get some good
time on the water.

The Land Between the Lakes area is amazing. Kentucky Lake and Lake
Barkley are so large, that any direction is great wind, but the launch
site may differ depending on the wind direction. Your launch site may
also be determined by how much you want waves. If the wind blows hard
out of the south, you can get 4 foot rollers on the north end of
kentucky Lake. We had a windsurfing weekend on those two lakes last
October, and I would like to make it an annual gig.

Since my wife and I still have family Paducah, I sail there quite a few
times throughout the year, and would gladly share some local knowledge
of that area.

What equipment do you use?
